JustDraw it: Electricity saver

Usually we think that switching off the gadgets means there’s no more power consumption, which is actually not. Even when electrical appliances are “turned off” they’re still consuming energy adding into your electricity bill. But to bring you out of this situation, designer Henry Huang, Jack Chang and Howard Yu have made a device called JustDrawIt.
To put it simply, it is a home timer for all your appliances telling you when the gadgets can be totally powered off without affecting your functionality. The clue to tell you that the amount oftime left with that microwave, toaster and lamp till the power goes off comes off from a row of LED lights. Though just a concept ill date, nothing can be said about its functionality till the product actually hits the market.

Hop-on HOP1800, a disposable cellphone

Hop-on HOP1800, a disposable cellphone hop-on-1800

There are mobile should be disposable but they are not, as the new pay and then in a blink of an eye stop working. But then there are the Hop-on HOP1800 that yes, they are mobile created only to discard them, while using them.

That is why they have no screen, otherwise the price would be too high for boats then trash. However, what facilities we can find in a cellphone which costs just 10 dollars and is due date? Nothing too spectacular, a mobile dual banda you provide about four hours of conversation (or about 150 hours in standby mode) along with a keyboard rather elementary but, of course, has Braille markings. And then we can use some other facilities as a variety of polyphonic ringtones, lock and keys SIM and, most striking, a large loudspeaker located in place that usually occupy the screen.

In order to delete from the list of priorities camera, Internet access or the built-in GPS. Nothing further from smartphones that this mobile, I believe, not only to provide emergency.. and as long as there is nothing better hand. While it is true, its price is something inviting.

At the moment it is possible to achieve in the United Kingdom and the United States (where it operates with 40 operators) but is expected to soon reach the rest of Europe.
